O felix anima
O felix anima,
cuius corpus
de terra ortum est,
quod tu cum peregrinatione
huius mundi conculcasti.
Unde de divina rationalitate,
que te speculum suum fecit,
coronata es.
Spiritus Sanctus etiam te
ut habitaculum suum intuebatur.
Unde de divina rationalitate,
que te speculum suum fecit,
coronata es.
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.

O soul, so fulfilled
O soul, so fulfilled,
that your flesh,
which arose from the Earth,
stepped from this world
as a culmination of your journeys.
Hence divine knowing
was reflected in you,
as a crown.
And Sacred Spirit
gazed upon you as its home.
For divine knowing
was reflected in you,
as a crown.
Glory to the Holy Trinity;
Parents, Child and Loving Spirit.
